Sidebar Title

The information presented on all the pages are from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) from the years 2011-2016.

The data presented shows the rates of physical activity and sedentary behaviors between males and females across the different racial/ethnic groups and across different income levels that data were gathered from. These data are separated by the three different data cycles from NHANES. There are tabs for physical activity and sedentary behaviors in the sample as well as interactive plots of the same data.

Other pages are focused on Latinx participants, with a focus on the associations between recreational forms of physical activity and work-related physical activity. The plots show information on Latinx that are more and less acculturated as well as information on how much different levels of engagement in these various forms of physical activity across the different data cycles.

Lastly, there is some information on the less and more acculturated Latinx in an interactive plot. This plot shows differences in engagement in work and recreational forms of physical activity along with how acculturated participants were.

Overall, these plots show the differences in rates of physical activity and sedentary behaviors based on race and income. When focusing on Latinx individuals, these plots indicate that there is a lack of engagement in recreational forms of physical activity across all acculturation levels, but most Latinx individuals engage in some level of moderate or vigorous forms of physical activity.
